typeof  math.multiply(1,2).valueOf()  // number   2

typeof math.multiply(math.bignumber(1.0),2).valueOf()  // string  '2'

Yes, that is how it works.

BigNumber converts into a string because normally its value cannot be represented correctly using a number (otherwise there would be no reason to use BigNumber in the first place).
